The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) invites to a workshop on participatory modelling from 7–11 October 2024 at the ICES Headquarters, Copenhagen, Denmark. With this workshop, ICES aims to give greater attention to the concept of participatory modelling: an innovative concept that combines modelling developed jointly by scientists and a wide diversity of stakeholders to create a shared vision while maintaining substantial and structured dialogue between groups.

The postdoc candidate will join and interact with a team of young dynamic researchers studying phytoplankton remote sensing and ecology at Nantes University. The work will be done in collaboration with plankton ecologists from other labs in France. The main objective will be to study the ecology and biodiversity of phytoplankton red tides using satellite remote sensing.

The conference is the annual gathering of the Black Sea maritime community. Here you can get and exchange on the latest concerning investment, innovation, and environmental protection in the Black Sea sustainable blue economy. Whether you're an entrepreneur, researcher, representative of civil society, policymaker, or investor, this conference offers you a chance to engage with regional counterparts, engage in discussions, and lay the groundwork for future collaborations in common sustainable blue economy endeavors. Explore updates on current and upcoming initiatives, discover opportunities within the region's evolving landscape, and network with peers to cultivate partnerships and investigate potential joint ventures.

PLASTMed will be the first edition of “CRIMAC Summer School” and will take place from the 22nd to the 25th of October, at the Research Centre and Marine Advanced Infrastructures in Calabria, Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, in Amendolara (CS). The PLASTMed Summer School will consist of 4 days and will focus on plastic marine pollution in the Mediterranean Sea, dealing with both biotic and abiotic environmental matrices, through a multidisciplinary approach (ecological, biotechnological and toxicological). Application Deadline: 26 Jul 2024

The Global Ocean Observing System is a program of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, working to coordinate an integrated and responsive ocean observing system. The Biology and Ecosystems Expert Panel (BioEco Panel) is one of three panels providing scientific advice and expertise to GOOS on sustained observations of ocean variables across physics, biogeochemistry and marine life. To support ocean observing coordination, GOOS has identified a series of physical, biogeochemical, biological and ecosystem measurements known as Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs). The EOVs have been identified by the ocean community as essential for establishing the state of the global ocean and how it is changing through time. They are designed to support the delivery of information and tools that support science-based decision-making. The Biology and Ecosystems expert panel coordinates 12 BioEco EOVs focused on monitoring key taxa and habitat groups and a cross-disciplinary EOV focused on ocean sound. To fulfil the Panel’s responsibilities and commitments, two expert members take on voluntary leadership roles within the Panel in relation to each BioEco EOV.

The European Polar Board (EPB) is an independent organisation that focuses on major scientific, policy, and strategic priorities in both the Arctic and Antarctic regions. The Executive Secretary works with the EPB Chair, the Executive Committee, and the broad EPB membership, to advance coordination in polar research effectively, foster multilateral collaboration and knowledge sharing. The Executive Secretary should initiate and maintain links with national and international organisations as required and will represent the EPB externally in major ongoing activities such as the IPY, ICARP IV, and other polar initiatives as deemed necessary.
